Chicago Choral Artists

The Chicago Choral Artists will present the Midwest premiere of a "On the Nature of Creation" by American composer Robert Kyr as part of its April concert series honoring Earth Day.

Mr. Kyr will attend the first performance on Sunday afternoon, April 22 at First United Church of Oak Park, at which he will give a pre-concert talk. The program will be repeated Saturday evening, April 28 at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Arlington Heights, and Sunday afternoon, April 29 at Luther Memorial Church in Chicago’s Lincoln Square community.

CCA’s new Artistic Director, Dr. Emilie Amrein, assistant professor of music at Lake Forest College, will conduct the 40-voice ensemble in all three performances, which will also include music by the 24-member Lake Forest College Chamber Singers.

Chicago area artists who work with recycled material will also be displaying their work, offering creative perspectives on how to re-use what we already have made.
